Some Came Running: Film restoration in the digital domain: A chat with James White:

Maria Falconetti in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). This is how the frame appears in the current Eureka!/Masters of Cinema Blu-ray disc edition of the film. Below, the image before restoration. I first heard from James White, the British film restoration maestro, a few years back, around the time the below-mentioned ITV Blu-ray of Powell and Pressburger’s Black Narcissus came out in Britain. White and I reconnected around last year’s…

A little FYI… preserve film please.

Here are just a few films in the ever-growing list that used ORWO film stock to shoot. Take note of the low-key black and white visual style in ‘The Man from London’. With the use of ORWO black and white film, the audience can feel both the growing intensity and the hidden eroticism through the shadows created with the use of black and white. This style of film is reminiscent of German Expressionist Cinematography that is nearly impossible to capture using any other kind of film stock. ‘The Temptation of St. Tony’, shot on 35 mm ORWO Black and White film, uses surrealism to tell the story of a man struggling with the purpose of life. ‘The Dream and the Silence’ received astounding reviews at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. This film is shot entirely in black and white with only two hints of color for effect.

2012 - 'The Dream and the Silence' (post-production)

2009-  The Temptation of St. Tony

2007 - The Man From London

2012 Brooklyn Film Festival

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 06:10:00 -0400

The festival had a great turnout! ORWO would like to thank Marco Ursino and Susan Mackell of indieScreen in Brooklyn for their support of ORWO film, along with hosting the event in their resplendent and eclectic theater. We had a great time watching several features, including ‘Dear Mandela’, which was awarded the Grand Chameleon Award at the end of the night’s award ceremony. Congratulations to directors Dara Kill and Christopher Nizza for receiving a gift certificate for ORWO film along with, of course, the obligatory ORWO commemorative trophy.
